Fourth Draft script for an unproduced television pilot. Not to be confused with the 1999 film comedy of the same name. An unemployed, white, conservative man tries to balance his desire for a traditional family life with his anxieties around the changes of the late twentieth century. Screenwriters Stephen Sustarsic and David Silverman wrote together frequently for sitcom television throughout the 1980s and 1990s, most memorably for the television series "Alice" (1976-1985) and "The Jeffersons" (1975-1985). Silverman and Sustarsic collaborated with co-screenwriter Steve Pepoon to create the children's animated series "The Wild Thornberrys" (1998-2004). Self wrappers. Title page present, dated March 9, 1998, noted as FOURTH DRAFT, with credits for screenwriters Stephen Sustarsic, Steve Pepoon, and David Silverman.

Final Draft script for the first episode of the 1995 television series, here under the working title "Ellen Cleghorne Pilot," which aired on The WB network on September 10, 1995. "Cleghorne!" was among the first batch of original programming on the newly launched WB network, and lasted only 12 episodes. Comedian Ellen Cleghorne stars as Ellen Carlson, a single mom raising a nine-year-old daughter and running a local production company on the Upper West Side. In the pilot episode Ellen stars a TV commercial production company while her overbearing parents move in to the apartment next door. Set in New York City. Blue titled wrappers, dated April 26, 1995. Title page present, dated April 26, 1995, noted as FINAL DRAFT, with credits for screenwriters Steve Pepoon, David Silverman, and Steve Sustarsic. 47 leaves, with last page of text numbered 43. Xerographic duplication, rectos only. Pages Near Fine, wrapper Near Fine, bound with two silver brads.

Original treatment script, followed by plot, character, and setting concepts for an unproduced animated television series. The 22 page gathering begins with a six treatment script, dated 12/31/97, for an episode entitled "The Job," followed by "B-Story," "C-Runner," "(Setup)," "Characters," "Things That Piss Whitey Off," "Plot Ideas," and "Story Ideas." Angry, and maybe a bit racist, Whitey is out of work and frustrated that he can't support his wife and three kids, and is now a minority in his own neighborhood. A darkly satirical and exaggerated 1990's variant of "All in the Family," noted on the bottom of the "(Setup)" page is "(Think 'Falling Down')." Screenwriters Steve Pepoon and David Silverman were both associated with "The Simpsons" (1989-current), and Pepoon, Silverman, and screenwriter Steve Sustarsic were all best known for their work as animators and screenwriters for sitcom television. Set in Chicago. Xerographic duplication, bound by a single staple to the top left. Near Fine.
